This text presents a modern theory of analysis, control, and optimization for dynamic
networks. Mathematical techniques of Lyapunov drift and Lyapunov optimization are …

A path-breaking account of Markov decision processes-theory and computation This book's
clear presentation of theory, numerous chapter-end problems, and development of a unified …

The objective of this book is to collect in a single volume the essentials of stochastic
networks, from the classical product-form theory to the more re cent developments such as …

Communication networks underpin our modern world, and provide fascinating and
challenging examples of large-scale stochastic systems. Randomness arises in …

Provides a modern mathematical approach to the design of communication networks for
graduate students, blending control, optimization, and stochastic network theories. A broad …

We prove a monotonicity result for the problem of optimal service rate control in certain
queueing networks. Consider, as an illustrative example, a number of·/M/1 queues which …

This handbook aims to highlight fundamental, methodological and computational aspects of
networks of queues to provide insights and to unify results that can be applied in a more …

We study a model of controlled queueing network, which operates and makes control
decisions in discrete time. An underlying random network mode determines the set of …

We consider open and closed multiclass queueing networks, with Poisson arrivals (for open
networks), exponentially distributed class dependent service times and class dependent …

We consider the problems of performance analysis and stability/instability determination of
queuing networks and scheduling policies. We exhibit a strong duality relationship between …
